Wearing breathing apparatus, firefighters extinguished the fire which had been confined to a single bed mattress,” says Greerton station officer Dave Whistler.

'It's looking like it was an electrical fault of some sort on an extension cord, but we are still investigating that further at this stage.

'It's not suspicious, nothing like matches or cigarettes. It looks like an extension cord's been damaged at some stage and shorted.”
